re second wives

Submitted by yasemin (Canada), Jan 26, 2008 at 15:52

My turkish husband ( may his favorite body part fall off ) may have a second secret wife that he possibly married recently in a religious ceremony. My husband won't confess to having married in a religious marriage because it's illegal in Turkey to have a second wife and he knows I will press charges if i find out as I am his legal wife still ( and will be for a long time to stop him from marrying this woman.) If she knows about me then she is a ...in my opinion. Imams will never confess so i need an investigator and almost impossible to find someone to do this as professionals are way too expensive.

I need to ask you how do these men manage to marry since the imam is supposed to check records first. I was told they turn a blind eye to existing marriages. Disgusting.
